.stance udeftour.org Thesis (Seattle) vs Moy (Houston) filmed by Daniel Zhu and ChazB DJ BlesOne / DJ Fleg / Fox Boogie judges: Abstrak, Ken Swift, Tuff Kid, Wicked, Easy Roc, Reveal, Wicket winner: Thesis
Moy and I used to practice together every Monday night at the Rec. Center in Clifton, N.J .. Great dude and nice to see he's still got it .. Wish I'd never stopped .. Also, nice to see the respect and love .. Real bboyin'
Thesis's third round had a really interesting flow to it. I'm not sure I've ever seen a round like that one before. I would've given that to him for originality
Not sure if You guys noticed but BlessOne was taking the vocals off the tracks during Moy' rounds. Similar thing happened back in FSS 2012 when Lean Rock was spinning for SBR. Not hating just letting know. DJs being 'secret' crew members during battles.
Never been a fan of Moy's style. He keeps it old school which is cool, but I don't see any musicality in him. He just throws moves at a fast pace. I know there's a lot of ppl who enjoy his style and I wish I could say the same but it's just not appealing to me. I honestly thought Thesis destroyed Moy in this battle and that tie breaker was a surprise to me. In fact there's many battles Moy has won that just seem like the opposite team got robbed. All I can say is keep doing what works, may not be appealing to everyone but if it works it works right. Both BBoys have my respect for making it really far in this career.
That's fair. In my opinion, I think Moy's biggest strengths is executing lots of moves very cleanly and very quickly. I agree though that he is not one who just nails the beat like maybe Thesis or Kleju can.
i agree with OP. Its not a matter of a old school vs new school. Both should strive to be on beat or put more into effort into riding the music. You won't see real OGs like mr. wiggles or storm ignoring beats just to throw moves.
bro. look up collegiality. in breakin', everyone is supposed to be different and express the music in how they feel or how their body feels on a particular day. Whether you "enjoy" or seek judgement about a "style" is irrelevant based on appeal, since bboys just wanna feel breaking as a way to express themselves - NOT break as a way to appeal to others.
